Abstract

Gender equality is a national policy to promote social development in China in 1995, but gender discrimination still exists in vocational context. This paper studies the gender difference in hotels in mainland China. A survey was carried out with a structured questionnaire to gather career information from a sample of 1,436 employees working in four hotels. The data were then analyzed using a range of descriptive and evaluative techniques. Results show that hotel hires much more females than males owing to its service functions; a number of positions are traditionally perceived as male job and accordingly excluded from female consideration, including engineering department and security department. Married females and males usually choose to remain in service work, but unmarried staffs are inclined to leave. These findings have implications on employment for individuals and organizations.
